Confessions of a Mom With an Aspergerized Teenager!

The last few days the cat has been trapped behind the washer mewing helplessly until somebody pulls the washer out and releases him. We have had this cat almost an entire year and it has never displayed any desire to take a leap behind the washer into the deep dark abyss. Suddenly the temptation has heightened....so it seems.

Funny thing, though, the cat is never trapped in this condition when the eldest boy is not present. The eldest boy may even be caught "rescuing" the cat on occasion......things that make you go hmmmmm.

When questioned, of course, this was an absurd idea that I had conjured up. It really amazes me how somebody can twist something around so flawlessly almost making you think you really are crazy. It astonishes me daily.

Mysteriously, the cat's intrigue with washer diving has suddenly vanished. I suppose the fiasco is not as fun when, "the cat is out of the bag"...that was bad, I know!

From the journal of an exasperated parent of an aspy!

and the journey continues............along with the continuous prayers for understanding, wisdom, and patience....

I Have a Blog.....? Oops!

So, it's been a crazy past few months! Here is a brief capture of our goings on:

• Traveled to Indiana for Thanksgiving, where both children decided to become ill....still were able to have some fun, but missed out on seeing some family due to illness.
• School.
• Braydon read his first book.
• More school.
• Saw a civil war battle reenactment in Historic Washington....cool!
• School, school, school.
• Went on a cheap and terribly unstable cruise ship....Carnival Fantasy (never book it)!!! See previous blog for more info.
• Chris went on some business trips.
• School.
• Toastmasters.
• David had a colonoscopy and EGD....found out he has bad reflux, two gastric ulcers, and is in the high risk category for developing celiac disease, but tested negative for it right now....PTL!
• Family in for the holidays...good times.
• Planning a four generation family vacation for 2010.
• Planning 5th birthday party for Braydon. 5?? Really?
• Fargo developed pacreatitis...ridiculous dog.....he is fixed now.
• Fargo's allergies are in full bloom right now....on benadryl around the clock...again I say, ridiculous dog!
• Husband bought me a pod of I.....fun.
• Streaming videos online from Netflix....cool and cheap! My favorites!
• Root canal and crown for my poor husband...cleanings for the boys.

• Suspension parts broke on the front of the truck....thank you extended warranty!
• Growing children.....David wears a size 10 in men's shoes, and a 16 SLIM in pants!

I cannot remember everything that has happened, but that is a pretty decent summary. Just busy and on the go......is there any other way?
